“Composed sophistication were the defining buzzwords that inspired our journey toward the creation of Arthur Shaw’s penthouse,” says Lederman, “and the concept can be felt in all the design and decor choices, including the color palette, furniture, and of course, art.” Ebony-tone hardwood floors provide a striking contrast to the soft gray walls, while the furniture palette was predominantly neutrals—creams, shades of gray, black. “The final effect was extremely pleasing to the eye, light on top, dark on bottom, and a full spectrum of neutrals in between,” Lederman says.
